The Golden Goose

I was down in the dumps I turned all my gold into mischief All my geese had bumps And I was running the risk of Having all my cake Having all my bells start ringing But that old mistake The one that left my poor heart stinging Pulled up a chair Said I'm not finished with you But if you want to know the truth You could have had it all You could have had the golden goose Every curtain call every color you could introduce Every Saturday night Every summer every spring and fall Every star in sight Oh yes you could have had it all I was running around I was using up all my chances Just a hand me down Giving mischievous sideways glances Sidling up To every opportunity In a paper cup Awash with stupidity And all these days Battery acid and blacktop skid marks But if you want to know the truth You could have had it all You could have had the golden goose Every curtain call every color you could introduce Every Saturday night Every summer every spring and fall Every star in sight oh yes could have had it all You change your clothes You change your appetite That kind of stuff will keep you up at night You're feeling good you're feeling alright You're feeling good you're feeling alright
